Inflammation occurs when the body’s immune system is under attack and is most obvious when it occurs with an injury
However, inflammation also occurs internally. Medical conditions such as arthritis, bronchitis and cystitis all count inflammation among their symptoms. Doctors often prescribe drugs like prednisone to alleviate these symptoms, but over the counter versions like ibuprofen exist too.
Prescription and over the counter remedies are inexpensive, but prolonged use can increase the risk for cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and other issues.
Whenever possible, safer, natural alternatives are preferred. Many herbs act as anti-inflammatories, and most of these have no harmful side effects. Whether you need an anti-inflammatory on a daily basis or only occasionally, choosing a natural herb is a healthy way to experience relief without exposing yourself to risk of harmful side effects.
